A Day Out at Si5 SpyMissions Chelmsford

Posted on March 5, 2022July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

Dann and I have done escape room style games and escape rooms before, ourselves, but never have we done a real life escape room with the kids! When looking for fun activities we could get the children to on the weekends, Si5 SpyMissions came up, with a branch in Chelmsford. This branch of Si5 SpyMissions offered quite a few different age groups, as well as a family package that could accommodate all ages along with a guide. As we have children ages 5 to 11, we figured this guided family package was the best fit for our family, and went off!

A Day Out at All My Sons at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Posted on February 16, 2022September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Plays and performances have been hitting the stages, now that the world is getting back to normal. We have been to a few, so far, from children’s focused plays to musicals, and have been really enjoying the energy and story. All My Sons is no exception. This play was based in America, with all of the actors putting on some really great American accents, which added a lot to the show.

A Day Out at Pember Library & Natural History Museum

Posted on February 14, 2022February 15, 2022 by Jupiter

I went off to visit family in Upstate New York and as a result started going out to all the little places hidden in the small, mountain-side towns nearby. One of the museums I remember going to as a very small child is the Pember Library and Natural History Museum – located right in the middle of the town my grandmother lives in. This museum is above a decent sized library, which is open, for free, to the public. The library itself is on a donation if you want basis, with a large collection of taxidermy animals, many of which you’d never see in this small town.

A Day Out at Discover Children’s Story Centre

Posted on February 10, 2022July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

Back before Lockdown, Dann and I had found the Discover Children’s Story Centre, and it was the perfect age range for all of the kids to go too. But, we were unable to attend, and with lockdown, and then everything opening back up, it has been a while! Kai now isn’t the ideal age range, but he is always willing to go out and about with his sisters (and as we had an evening event planned for him) we decided to go ahead to the Discover Children’s Story Centre anyway, as the two girls really would enjoy it.

Ideally, this place is best for Robin’s age range, but Amelia has been big into trying out new parks (indoor and outdoor) and otherwise pretending with Robin, who has an active imagination. The Discover Children’s Story Centre is essentially a large place where children can play pretend. There is two indoor areas and an outdoor area under the entrance fee, with another indoor area that has limited time slots, for a small price per kid on top of the entrance fee. We ended up exploring the default entrance stuff, without the extra ticket, and had a lovely few hours out and about!

A Day Out at the Polka Theatre for Cinderella: the AWESOME truth

Posted on January 18, 2022July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

Robin has recently gone to her first play at school, around the holiday season, and has been asking to go to more plays ever since. As we were looking for some good plays that all three of the children could enjoy, we came across the Polka Theatre, which has a bunch of plays aimed at younger children, as well as a great indoor and outdoor play area to explore. We booked tickets to Cinderella: the AWESOME truth, and were pretty excited!
